ON SUNDAY THERE WERE 79 PEOPLE IN CHURCH. A LOT MORE THAN USUAL. SO I WAS HAPPY!

hey mom!

dallin is already gone. wow. i feel old. i cant have a brother in college. but i guess you are saying that about a son in college and one on the mission! reading the book of mormon is awesome. i bet you can do it three times in a year. i have read it about three times already. gets better everytime. so as you said, transfers came and gone. and i am officially an elder not in mar del plata. my new area is toay. its right outside of santa rosa in the province la pampa. it was a 12 hour bus ride. a very uncomfortable bus ride. but hey. i made it! i live in santa rosa and each day i travel to toay. it will be a pain later on in the month with money and all but o well. my comp is elder g. sounds latino but he is american. his parents are both chileans. he grew up in the states but for high school lived in chile. he also went to byu hawaii. and he is an amazing soccer player. so i need to see how amazing he plays. he is on his third transfer. so i am his second comp in the field. its almost as if i was training. but he is way legit. he already knows the language. so it will be awesome. and its not really cold here either. so i think i am set. all i gotta do know is get to know the place.

so my last week in antartida was a sad one. we tried to get four baptismal fechas but they didnt work out. a and a went on vacation to tucuman. so we could teach them. The other couple went to their lawyer to try and finish a divorce so they could get married but the lawyer wasnt there. they cant get baptized until married. so its a long process with them. but it was going well in my opinion. and on sunday there was 79 people in church. a lot more than the usual. so i was happy! presidente wants us to leave our areas better than when we got there. i honestly think it is better off now than when i got there. a lot of the families didnt want me to leave and it was tough saying bye to them all. i really loved that ward. but i am no longer needed there. i shall use my "skills" as a missionary and try to be the best tool i can in the lords hands. well mom i love you! take care. know that always i love you. until next monday. chau!

love
